Just the FAQsWhy order the Official Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial License plate?Because you care about preservation. Because you care about ensuring that generations to come can experience a part of the past. When you order the plate, you demonstrate your commitment to Tennessee’s commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, you help promote Tennessee’s rich heritage, you help fund Civil War battlefield preservation, and you support the Civil War Trails program in YOUR community. My order can do all that? Yes. Displaying the license plate can remind thousands of Tennesseans and people throughout the United States of the most transformational event in our nation’s history and honor those who fought and died in defense of their beliefs. As for the dollars? TCWPA will receive $15.62 of the $35.00 fee – and those funds will support battlefield preservation and a portion of the proceeds will go to agencies or organizations in your county for the purchase or maintenance of the Civil War trails signs. For more information about the Civil War Trails program, visit www.civilwartrails.org and watch for News updates on this web site.
